[2010] EWCA Crim 66

The non-application of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 s.35(2) to a co-defendant who had failed to attend trial did not make it unfair to apply that section to other co-defendants who had chosen not to give evidence and against whom the jury could therefore consider drawing an adverse inference.
